At Omega Mind Clinic, we are firm believers in being guided by the patient’s specific wants and needs. We work in partnership with family and carers where appropriate, to reach the best health outcomes, together.
We use a ‘biopsychosocial model’ to help identify and diagnose patients’ conditions, which involves a holistic view of physical, mental social, cultural and spiritual context that influence our health and wellbeing. This method has proven success in better understanding a patient’s condition and unique treatment needs.
Our entire team prides itself on spending time with our patients, to really ‘get to know’ a patient before developing a personalised treatment plan, which is especially important for new patients seeing a psychiatrist for the first time.
All our patients can be assured that their time and financial investment in their health will be well spent, without a rushed diagnosis or treatment plan.
Learn about being part of our team.
Update August 2023: Please note our psychiatrists wait times have increased substantially and unfortunately, we can not guarantee that your referral will be accepted due to capacity of the available doctors.
We appreciate your understanding.
